VELOX will host on its stand (Hall B5/Stand 5001) partners Asahi Kasei, LIFE materials, Lubrizol and Völpker Spezialprodukte.
During the show VELOX will present the new VELOX 3D printing portfolio, which focuses on specialist raw materials suitable for manufacturing Fused Deposition Modelling or Fused Filament Fabrication (FDM/FFF) filaments and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) powders.
From Asahi Kasei, one of the key highlights during the show it says will be its ASACLEAN purging compounds, which are used to optimise thermoplastic injection moulding, extrusion and blow moulding production runs.
Contributing to its low-residue properties, the material is designed specifically to have a low affinity to metal surfaces.
ASACLEAN has proven to reduce downtimes, costs and maintenance efforts.
An extruder will demonstrate how ASACLEAN compares to conventional, less effective purging methods at the VELOX stand.
Lubrizol Engineered Polymers will introduce its latest material breakthrough, Estane ZHF 90AT8 NAT01.
This new grade is designed for cables in robotics, construction and communications, offering good flame retardant performance in combination with mechanical properties and heat resistance.
At Fakuma, Lubrizol will also showcase its new Estane TPU for 3D printing applications, ranging from flexible to rigid technologies. The material is available as FDM/FFF filaments and pellets, as well as powder TPU solutions.
VELOX says the final key highlight at the VELOX stand will be from VOELPKER, who has developed a new version of its WARADUR OP montan wax ester containing a higher percentage of calcium montanate.
Marketed under the name WARADUR OPplus, this product will, for example, further reduce viscosity in PA 6.6.
François Minec, General Manager of VELOX, said: “We are delighted to present a wide range of innovative specialties together with our long-standing partners at this year's FAKUMA. We look forward to the professional exchange and the many encounters with new and existing customers at our stand 5001 in Hall B5.”
